Roland Ruby and company deliver a wonderfully quirky album full of surprises. A bit classic rock. A bit French pop. A bit rock en Espanol. A bit of jazz. Fun, fresh, and all delicious.
*1. Slow intro then retro 60s rock w/hints of Brazil.
2. Upbeat Spanish rock M/F duet w/hard energy.
*3. Midtempo French pop w/a playful bal musette air.
*4. Sexy female vocals, stylish relaxed jazz.
5. Midtempo M/F duet w/a nicely jazzy arrangement.
6. Downtempo, almost a parody of overwrought love song. Cool.
7. Rich and romantic ballad w/female vocals.
*8. Relaxed French café ballad.
*9. Hip retro fun, midtempo duet.
10. Downtempo dramatic French ode w/a childlike feel.
*11. Sheep. Then gradually faster tempo into fun gospel jam.
12. In English female vocals, upbeat rock.
